Welcome the nap...

While I sit here typing, Miss Emma is up in her crib doing everything possible to avoid her nap. If it were me, I would LOVE the nap - but not for little ones. Oh no- they must delay the nap as long as absolutely possible. She is singing the ABC's, the Cinderella song, yelling for me, and playing with her toys that she has up there. It has been about 15 minutes - yikes. However, she WILL fall asleep. I need her to so I can work out, shower, do the dishes, and clean my house. Yup that's right - she is going to take a 4 hour nap - haha! After her nap, we are going to make Valentine's Cards! We went to Walmart and bought paper, glue, glitter and stickers for cards. It should be messy - but fun.

We have a fairly busy weekend coming up. My parents are coming up tomorrow for a small Valentine party for the girls. Then, since my Dad has a bowling tournament, my Mom will be staying with us for the weekend. I want to get some shopping done and just relax. It should hopefully be a nice weekend although cold.

Tonight I am heading to a party at my friend Megan's and tomorrow night I am hosting book club! Yeah! I look forward to that.

Otherwise, really nothing else is going on. I have my doctor's appointment next Friday and I am incredibly excited for that! Tim wants to make sure there is only one heartbeat :-) Twins would be a lot to handle - but they don't run in either family so I am really not worried about that.

Here are some pictures of Emma's day-to-day activities. Nothing too excited, just big things in her world... her dollhouse and her paints. She is quite the artist (and apparently the paints taste real good.)





okay - she is STILL awake. It usually never takes her this long to fall asleep. This could be bad....
